The Bitcoin Farm remains one of Escape from Tarkov’s most coveted Hideout modules in 2025. This passive income generator can transform your in-game economy, providing a steady stream of Bitcoins convertible to millions of Roubles. I’ve spent countless raids gathering GPUs and optimizing my farm, and I’m here to share everything I’ve learned. Whether you’re considering your first Bitcoin Farm investment or looking to maximize an existing setup, this guide breaks down exactly what you need to know about profitability, requirements, and optimization in the current Tarkov meta.
What is the Bitcoin Farm in Tarkov?
The Bitcoin Farm module with multiple GPUs installed
The Bitcoin Farm is a specialized Hideout module that passively generates physical Bitcoins (BTC) over time. These in-game Bitcoins can be sold to Therapist for substantial Roubles, creating a steady income stream without requiring active raiding. The farm’s production rate depends directly on how many Graphics Cards (GPUs) you install – more cards mean faster Bitcoin generation.
What makes the Bitcoin Farm unique in Tarkov’s economy is its ability to generate value while you’re offline. Once constructed and powered, your farm works continuously, allowing you to log in periodically to collect your Bitcoins. In the 2025 economy, each Bitcoin sells for approximately 280,000-320,000 Roubles to Therapist, making this a significant income source for funding gear, keys, and hideout upgrades.
Key Benefit: Unlike other income methods that require active play (like scav runs or PMC raids), the Bitcoin Farm generates Roubles passively, even when you’re not playing.
Bitcoin Farm Requirements and Upgrades
Before you can start mining Bitcoins, you’ll need to unlock and construct the farm. The requirements have been adjusted in the 2025 update, so let’s break down what you need for each level:
Prerequisites needed before building the Bitcoin Farm

How to Build the Bitcoin Farm (Step-by-Step)
The construction process from the hideout menu
Building your Bitcoin Farm requires careful planning and resource gathering. Here’s my tried-and-tested approach based on hundreds of hours in the current wipe:
- Unlock the prerequisites: Focus on upgrading your Intelligence Center to Level 2 first, as this is the most challenging prerequisite.
- Gather construction materials: Collect all required components before starting construction. CPU Fans and Power Supply Units are commonly found in computers on Interchange and in the Reserve underground.
- Start construction: Once you have all materials, go to your hideout and select the Bitcoin Farm module to begin construction. This takes approximately 30 hours to complete.
- Install your first GPU: After construction completes, install at least one GPU to begin production. Each additional GPU will increase production speed.
- Maintain fuel supply: Ensure your generator remains powered with fuel to keep the farm operational. Consider upgrading to Solar Power for reduced fuel consumption.

Best Places to Find GPUs in 2025
Interchange
- Techlight (2nd floor)
- Rasmussen (1st floor)
- Texho (2nd floor)
- German (1st floor)
Reserve
- Drop-down room
- Black Bishop building
- Server rooms underground
- Intelligence folders spawn locations
“I found most of my GPUs by hitting Techlight on Interchange with a night raid. Less competition and the same valuable spawns.”

Profitability: Is the Bitcoin Farm Worth It in 2025?
Profitability analysis based on current Bitcoin values and GPU costs
The big question: Is building a Bitcoin Farm actually worth the massive investment in 2025? I’ve crunched the numbers based on current market values to give you a clear picture.
Investment Costs (Approximate)
- Bitcoin Farm Level 1 construction: ~1.5 million Roubles
- 10 GPUs (Level 1 capacity): ~8-10 million Roubles if purchased
- Fuel costs: ~150,000 Roubles per day
Return on Investment Analysis
Farm Level | GPUs Installed | Daily Bitcoin Production | Daily Income (Roubles) | Days to Break Even |
Level 1 | 1 | 0.6 | ~180,000 | ~17 |
Level 1 | 10 | 1.87 | ~560,000 | ~21 |
Level 2 | 25 | 2.88 | ~865,000 | ~28 |
Level 3 | 50 | 4.36 | ~1,310,000 | ~35 |
Note: These calculations assume you’re purchasing all GPUs at market value. If you find GPUs in raid, your break-even time decreases significantly.
Verdict: Is It Worth It?
Pros
- Passive income requires no active play
- Steady, reliable Rouble source
- Helps fund expensive gear without fear of losing it
- GPUs found in raid dramatically improve ROI
Cons
- Massive upfront investment
- Requires constant fuel supply
- Takes 3-5 weeks to break even
- Less valuable late in wipe cycle
In my experience, a Level 1 Bitcoin Farm with 10 GPUs is worth it for almost any player who plans to play for at least a month. Level 2 makes sense if you play regularly and can find some GPUs in raid. Level 3 is only worth it for dedicated players who plan to play throughout the entire wipe.
Tips to Maximize Bitcoin Production
Optimized hideout setup with Solar Power for maximum efficiency
After running my Bitcoin Farm through multiple wipes, I’ve discovered several strategies to maximize efficiency and profitability:
1. Prioritize Solar Power
The Solar Power module reduces generator fuel consumption by 50%, effectively doubling your net profit from Bitcoin farming. While expensive to build (requiring a RFICC and other rare components), it pays for itself quickly if you’re running a Level 2 or 3 farm.

2. Craft GPUs When Possible
The Intelligence Center Level 3 allows you to craft GPUs. While the craft takes approximately 97 hours, it’s a reliable way to get GPUs without risking death in high-traffic areas. Keep this craft running constantly.
3. Optimize Fuel Usage
Only run your generator when necessary. If you won’t be playing for several days, consider turning off your generator and restarting it when you return. The Bitcoin Farm will pause production but won’t lose progress.
4. Use Metal Fuel Tanks Efficiently
Empty Metal Fuel Tanks can be crafted into Magazine Cases in the Lavatory. This recycles your used fuel containers into valuable items, further improving your overall profitability.
Bitcoin price fluctuations throughout the wipe cycle
5. Time Your Bitcoin Sales
Bitcoin prices in Tarkov fluctuate based on real-world Bitcoin values. While you can’t predict these changes, you can hold your physical Bitcoins during price dips and sell them when values increase.
Important: Don’t let your Bitcoin Farm fill up completely! The farm stops producing when it reaches capacity (3 Bitcoins). Check regularly to collect your Bitcoins and maintain continuous production.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many GPUs should I install in my Bitcoin Farm?
For most players, filling a Level 1 farm with 10 GPUs offers the best balance of investment and return. Each additional GPU provides diminishing returns, so Level 2 and 3 farms are only recommended for dedicated players who plan to play throughout the entire wipe.
Do GPUs degrade or need replacement?
No, GPUs do not degrade or need replacement in the 2025 version of Tarkov. Once installed, they will continue working indefinitely as long as your generator is powered.
What happens to my Bitcoin Farm during a wipe?
During a wipe, all hideout progress including your Bitcoin Farm is reset. You’ll need to rebuild everything from scratch, which is why timing your Bitcoin Farm investment relative to the wipe cycle is important.
Can I remove GPUs from my Bitcoin Farm?
Yes, you can remove GPUs from your farm at any time without losing them. This can be useful if you want to sell them late in a wipe cycle when their value exceeds their remaining production potential.
Collecting Bitcoins from your farm
Conclusion: Building Your Bitcoin Empire
A fully upgraded Bitcoin Farm with all 50 GPU slots filled
The Bitcoin Farm represents one of Tarkov’s most significant economic investments and rewards. While the upfront costs are substantial, the passive income it generates can transform your Tarkov experience, giving you financial freedom to run better gear, experiment with expensive loadouts, and focus on enjoying raids rather than worrying about Roubles.
For most players, I recommend starting with a Level 1 farm and 10 GPUs, then evaluating whether to expand based on how much you’re playing and how long until the next wipe. Remember that GPUs found in raid dramatically improve your return on investment, so prioritize tech stores and computer rooms during your scavenging runs.
The Bitcoin Farm isn’t just about making money—it’s about changing how you play Tarkov. When you have a steady income stream, you can take more risks, try new strategies, and ultimately have more fun in one of gaming’s most challenging shooters.
